The inventors of netball I won't have to pay nightly!!
Former national coaches I would keep my mouth shut and watch the games play.
Ignorant like most I would wonder why my ignorance is now showing.
Medusa 1 and 2 I would hope to go back to being a myth.
***** And the list goes on !!!!
This blog has been created with the intention of raising questions about the state of netball in Barbados. Any names mentioned will be of people who are involved in the sport and all situations will be real.

At this stage of the annual Jean Pierre ( U-16) Netball Championships, host Barbados is on course to win their second title in four years.
I will be the first to admit that my initial thoughts of the team were very negative based on what I had seen prior to the start of the tournament. I'm admitting I was wrong.
It's heart warming to see Chemyne Alleyne finally trying to add some movement to her game while still being a nightmare for defenders in this competition. Her shot is on target at this point and this has allowed Barbados to be a perfect 3-0. However she has not be the lone ranger. Her supporting cast, Shannon Hackett has been a tower of pinpoint passing accuray and lithe movement into the shooting circle. This shooting pair are not only combining well but are causing headaches for defenses as they are both scoring machines at this time. KUDOS GIRLS !!!
Defensively I believe that we have the best combo in the tournament in captain Dahlia Scantlebury and Shanice Wharton. They are intense, aggressive and fearless in challenging. Just as they should be!
The lone concern for me is the midcourt which has been guilty of not squeezing the other countries in making more turnovers. Once coach Phillips and her assistant has sorted this out, the midcourt will be fine.
CONGRATS so far girls!!
